Well, I'd hang 'em both be a pretty cool mount, maybe have Nebe make me a couple glass squids to go with it, you know a chase scene. To each is own, if you already caught yours then you had the chance to feel the excitement and the glow that comes with it. Kinda like two hot blondes at once ( I imagine). If you haven't then I don't begrudge anyone for doing it. I cannot be holier than thou on this, for some reason I feel no remorse when a big fish hits the box, maybe cause it is still in my blood that selling or keeping what is legally yours to do is okay. I had two fish on a darter back in November 1990 at Old Harbor in Sandwich where the first one that weighed 44 lbs, was gonna be kept for winter chow and two casts later beached a 53 inch long fish. I swore it was over fifty and the other was dead but a fifty is a fifty so I kept it too. Problems was it only weighed 46 and change.
I have no passion for the "50" thing anymore, sh&t, I am just happy to catch nowadays, if it happens it happens, if it don't it don't. I ain't losing anymore sleep on it. It's just consistently catching that counts to me, anyone who can do that these days is a good fisherman in my eyes no matter if they ain't fifty's.
